Before we go down to the cove there's still training that needs to take place.

I'm sitting on the beach with Anoung and Tsieya waiting for everyone else to arrive.

I laughed as Tsieya went red as she soor Lo'ak come around the corner.

"Breathe in"
" Hold"
" Then breathe out" I say putting a hand to my chest .

"Yes like this," Roxto continues putting his hand to Neteyams chest in the wrong place.

I moved his hand away and replaced it with mine.

Useless.

"Slow your heart beat" I say feeling his heartbeat.

His heart beat began to fasten and I tilted my head with confusion.

" No slow, yours is too fast" I say looking up at him

" Oh, uh sorry" He replies looking down at me.

We are about an inch apart and his dark yellow eyes staring into mine.  I felt my cheeks begin to heat up and I quickly let go of his chest and went back to my sitting position.

________ Neteyams POV________

I look at her . She's been avoiding me I know. But I'm not sure why. I do like her I have since we arrived .

I was sure she did too.

" Right, now we will show you all something " Y/n says standing up

I can't help but stare , her large blue eyes and ...

" Dude" Loak says from next to me

" Your staring" He mutters

Anoung calls out for the ilus and everyone's comes except y/ns .

" Where is she" Y/n says calling out

" She always goes to far out so she can hear me calling" Y/n sighs

" You can ride with me" Roxto smirks

My eyebrows narrow slightly. He always flirts with her and it makes my blood boil.

" I would rather swim" She says

" We are wasting time" Anoung Begins

" Y/n go with Neteyam his ilu is the largest " Tsieya says

She turns to look at me and I wasn't sure if  she was going to reject me .

"Sure" She says padding over to me

I quickly hop on my ilu and i put my hand out for Y/n.

She laughs slightly
"skxawng" She says taking my hand .

I smile to myself as I help her on.

She holds onto the sides of the ilu and just as I was about to dive down.

" Y/n if you don't hold onto Neteyam you will fly right off!" Tsieya complains.

Y/n coughs awkwardly and scoots closer to me she raps her arms around my chest .

I feel a grin growing on my face and Loak winks at me.

"Ready?" Anoung asks

" Yep" We both say
"Lets go then"

______Y/ns POV________

I held my breath as Neteyam dives down under I hold his chest tightly and his right arm slips to my upper thigh for support so I don't fall.

His touch made my body freeze.
And as he resurfaced for air I said nothing.

"Hurry up  skxawng we are behind!" I say quickly

He dives down and he keeps steering wrong so I reach one of my hands on his chest on top of one of his and steady the ilu.

"Thank you" He signs

I look at him surprised and he laughs slightly.

I steer the ilu to the cove and we resurface into the cove.

I look up to see bright lights on the roof of the cove that look like stars.

I unknowingly rest my head on Neteyams shoulder as he slowly travels through the water .

I look at his amazed expression and I can't help but smile.

I don't care what Mother says anymore this boy is different.

He turns his kneck to look at me so I lift my head.

" Do you like the cove" I genuinely ask
" Its beautiful isn't it" I say running my hand threw the sparkling water.

" Yes she is" He says
" I mean- it is yes very cool" He plays it off.

I turn to look at him and see the freckles on his face  glowing I run my hands over the patterns on his arms to remember them when I draw later.

I can feel him staring . But when I'm with skxawng I feel this sense of peace . Not like I've felt before.

" Hurry up you two" Kiri says pasting us .

I take my hand of Neteyams arm and he turns to go after the others .

The fact that I can sit with him and not have to say anything proves my point of Neteyam being different.

I get of the ilu as we approach the ancestors tree and I take hold of Neteyams hand.

" Come" I say and I dive  under

He looks at the tree bewildered and I do the same.

I swim over to it letting go of his hand  and take out my tendrils and Neteyam does the same still looking at the tree.

I connect my tendrils to one of the flowing branches and close my eyes.

"Neteyam son wake up" I open my eyes to see jake sully and his wife around Neteyams lifeless body .

I run over and put my hand to his face.
Tears begin to fall as I realise what had happened.

Suddenly everything flashes to where I'm on a boat with Lo'ak and Neteyam.

They got spider, we've gotta get him, come on" Lo'ak says with a mettle Machine in his hands.

" Y/n go" Neteyam says leaving a kiss on my head.

" No I'm coming " I say running after Loak

We run through the large ship.

Everything flashes.

I'm running and I see Loak jump of the boat I follow and do the same .

I splash into the water and see a Navi point something at Neteyam.

I watch as he jumps and gets hit .

No this is how it happens I begin to cough up water and try to surface but something is pulling me down

_________ ______

"Y/n , wake up , y/n" I hear Neteyam saying

I open my eyes and cough up water into the sand .

I look to see im currently sitting in Neteyams Arms.

"Y/n what happened" Tsieya says in front of me.

" I-" I stop and look at Neteyam his eyes are filled with worry and concern.

" I can't remember" I say standing up.

"Wheres Kiri?" Roxto suddenly says

" Who?" Anoung asks .

" Kiri, wheres kiri?"
